How to load multiselect attribute values for current product

Question

I have problem when I try to load multiselect values for product. I have:

$product->getSportTypes()

But these can give me only "sport type" Ids, not and names. How to get names?

Answer 1

I suppose you want to display the value of the multiselect attribute named sport_types in the frontend. To do so you need to follow below steps:

$sportTypes = explode(",",$_product->getResource()
->getAttribute('sport_types')->getFrontend()
->getValue($_product));

foreach($sportTypes as $key => $value){
        echo $value;
    }

Answer 2

Better use:

foreach($product->getAttributeText('sport_types') as $type) {
    echo $type;
}

Amit already mentioned this but I want to make sure, that everyone understands, that getAttributeText returns you the attribute name for selects and an array for multiselects.

Magento:

$product->getSportTypes(); give array of option ids

And below give array of option

 $product->getAttributeText('sport_types');
$attributeId = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute')->getIdByCode('catalog_product','sport_types');
 $collection =Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute_option_collection')
                ->setPositionOrder('asc')
                ->setAttributeFilter($attributeId)
                ->setStoreFilter(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
                ->load();
                echo "<pre>";
                print_r($collection->toOptionArray());
                echo "</pre>";

For getting all Selected option of shop_types attribute try below code

$Collection=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()->addFieldToSelect('sport_types'')->groupByAttribute('sport_types'');
